The offenses for both the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles are full gear during the second half, but the latter is the hot one at the moment. After Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez connected for a second touchdown, Michael Vick answered right back with a 36-yard strike to Jeremy Maclin, cutting the Falcons' lead to 21-17.
Eagles Vs. Falcons Score: LeSean McCoy TD Run Puts Eagles In 24-21 Lead
If anyone thought that Matt Ryan would answer right back, that would have been wrong. Ryan threw a deep pass to rookie Julio Jones, but Asante Samuel was in the right place at the right time and intercepted the pass. Replay could not disprove the interception, so the play stood.
LeSean McCoy completed the short field by running eight yards into the end zone for his first touchdown of the game. The Eagles took control again with a 24-21 lead.
